370: Temporarily staying in the Eastern Region

Soon, Su Yun arrived at the wasteland on the border of the Eastern Region.

Compared to its previous desolation...

There were now many demonic Cultivators from demonic sects patrolling this wasteland.

From their clothing, it was clear they came from multiple demonic sects, with the majority being demonic Cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect.

At this moment, Su Yun's attention was not on these demonic Cultivators. He observed the grayish-black Formation barrier enveloping the Eastern Region and discovered something amiss.

“The power of the Laws on this Spiritual Energy Barrier has increased many times over; it seems to have completely locked down the space.

When I entered before, the power of the Laws on it wasn't this strong!”

Su Yun's expression turned solemn, and his heart grew wary.

Such an obvious change meant the Five Great Demonic Sects had certainly activated the Formation, strengthening the lockdown capability of this Spiritual Energy Barrier.

Previously, he only sensed chaotic space around the Spiritual Energy Barrier, but now it was incredibly stable.

This stability didn't mean the lockdown had weakened; it was highly likely that it had completely isolated the space from the outside world.

The entire Eastern Region was being directly separated.

After a while, he noticed a large group of demonic Cultivators approaching from a distance. They walked up to the Spiritual Energy Barrier, seemingly wanting to leave the Eastern Region. The patrolling demonic Cultivators immediately surrounded them and said in a low voice:

“This place has been locked down. No one is allowed to leave the Eastern Region for the time being.

Please leave quickly!”

“What? You lock it down just like that?

No way, I have urgent business to attend to. Move aside!”

“Yeah, don't block our path!”

A few demonic Cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm spoke disdainfully. Then, they flashed toward the Spiritual Energy Barrier, intending to pass straight through.

However, as soon as they touched the Spiritual Energy Barrier, they were blocked, and then instantly turned to ash by the deep-black power of the Laws.

The other demonic Cultivators who wanted to leave the Eastern Region were instantly stunned, too terrified to step forward, and eventually had no choice but to leave.

Several more groups of demonic Cultivators tried to leave the Eastern Region afterward, but none succeeded.

“What powerful Law energy!

This Formation is not right. Su Yun, you must be careful!”

Leng Xirou watched the entire scene from within the fox heart imprint space, her tone sounding somewhat shocked.

Although she hadn't recovered her strength from her previous life, she could still see that the power of the Laws contained within this Spiritual Energy Barrier was extremely potent.

“The Eastern Region is now completely locked down. Even disguised as a demonic Cultivator, it's likely difficult to leave.

Should I just use the Heavenly Flame Palace to ram our way out?”

Su Yun pondered inwardly.

Before, he might have done that.

But seeing all the anomalies in the Eastern Region, he felt that doing so would be extremely dangerous.

Besides using the Heavenly Flame Palace, he could also use the sword-shaped jade talisman Meng Shuyan gave him, which should be able to break through this Spiritual Energy Barrier.

However, using it here would be too wasteful; it was a life-saving trump card.

Directly breaking this Spiritual Energy Barrier could easily attract powerful experts from the Eastern Region's demonic sects.

Although the Heavenly Flame Palace could withstand the attacks of those demonic sect experts...

The Heavenly Flame Palace was an Immortal Artifact after all. What if it drew out a Mahayana Realm demonic Cultivator?

If they couldn't break the Heavenly Flame Palace, the demonic Cultivators could choose to trap it.

After all, with his current strength, he couldn't yet activate the Heavenly Flame Palace's attacks; he could only control its movement.

Right, speaking of the Heavenly Flame Palace.

He could actually ask Yan Ling for information about this great array enveloping the Eastern Region.

She came from the Immortal Realm and was well-traveled; she might very well recognize this great array.

Thinking of this, Su Yun asked directly:

“Yan Ling, are you there?”

“Yes, Master, I'm here!

Is something the matter?”

Yan Ling's tone was languid, as if she had just woken up.

“Do you recognize this Formation in front of us?”

“Let me see... it looks a bit familiar.”

“I remember now. This seems to be the Heavenly Demon Sealing Array. It seals off heaven and earth while simultaneously being able to transform the environment.

There are actually people in the Haomiao Realm who can set up this kind of ancient great array?

Furthermore, this Formation seems to contain a trace of extremely faint immortal spiritual power, making it even more unbreakable.

Master, you currently cannot activate the Heavenly Flame Palace to attack, so if you want to rely on it to ram your way out, it would likely take quite a while.”

Yan Ling said in a serious tone.

“immortal spiritual power?

The demonic Cultivators of the Eastern Region can actually set up a great array that possesses a trace of immortal spiritual power?

Even if it's faint, it's still immortal spiritual power!”

Su Yun was somewhat surprised.

As everyone knew, anything related to Immortals was not simple.

The Haomiao Realm had been sealed off thousands of years ago.

Immortals were no longer able to descend to the Lower Realm.

How could immortal spiritual power suddenly appear?

And if it really were a Formation laid down by an Immortal, its power would be far greater than this.

If it wasn't an Immortal, the only possibility was that immortal spirit stones were used during the Formation's setup.

immortal spirit stones were the Spirit Stones of the Immortal Realm, containing immortal spiritual power.

In the cultivation world, immortal spirit stones were extremely precious.

For Mahayana Realm Cultivators, immortal spirit stones were supreme treasures that could make Immortal Ascension easier for them.

Although they couldn't directly absorb immortal spiritual power, the Law energy contained within could accelerate the cultivation speed of Mahayana Realm Cultivators until they became Immortals.

Before the Haomiao Realm was sealed, the Ten Great Holy Lands also possessed immortal spirit stones bestowed by Upper Realm Immortals, allowing the Mahayana Realm experts of the Sacred Lands to achieve Immortal Ascension faster.

But after the Haomiao Realm was sealed, contact with the Immortal Realm was lost, and the source of immortal spirit stones was also cut off.

Therefore, the Ten Great Holy Lands basically had no immortal spirit stones left.

Yet the demonic Cultivators of the Eastern Region were actually extravagant enough to use immortal spirit stones to set up a Formation?

This was very wrong!

It meant they had quite a few immortal spirit stones.

Where did their immortal spirit stones come from?

Could they have been obtained from excavating an ancient Secret Realm?

Or were they given by an Immortal?

If it were the latter, it would be troublesome.

The Immortal currently able to reach the Haomiao Realm was very likely sent by the great Immortal Realm power that had sealed the Haomiao Realm.

That great Immortal Realm power was presumably planning to do something to the Haomiao Realm.

Sending an Immortal might be to execute some plan.

However, if there really was an Immortal behind the Eastern Region's demonic Cultivators, judging from the current situation, the Immortal didn't seem to intend to take action directly.

For now, this was considered good news.

In that case, he couldn't recklessly break this Spiritual Energy Barrier; it would be troublesome if it drew out an Immortal.

As for these conjectures of his, he could only wait until he returned to the Holy Land to tell Meng Shuyan.

Perhaps she knew something.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yun said to Leng Xirou:

“Xi Rou, we can't leave the Eastern Region for the time being.”

“Su Yun, did you discover something?”

Leng Xirou said with some concern upon hearing Su Yun's serious tone.

“It's like this...”

Su Yun then briefly recounted his thoughts.

At the same time, he activated the Heavenly Illusion Power, carefully and firmly enveloping his entire body. He merged into the Void Realm once more and began to leave the Eastern Region border.

Since he couldn't leave the Eastern Region, he could only stay here for the time being.

It was a good opportunity to search for that key fragment.

“What? There's actually such a thing?

Then let's not leave the Eastern Region for now; we'll wait for the right opportunity.

As for my clanswomen, I'll go speak with them and have them stay inside the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl for a while.

They shouldn't have any objections!”

Leng Xirou was also somewhat frightened after hearing this and quickly spoke to Su Yun.

She had thought the lockdown of the Eastern Region was just the demonic Cultivators preparing to attack the Righteous Path forces.

But what she hadn't expected was that there might be such a huge secret hidden behind it.
